The vertical turbine pump has been specified for difficult or unusual applications, such as limited floor space, reduced operating noise levels, high efficiency, high discharge pressures and unusual suction conditions as required for low NPSH.

Brand: Layne & Bowler / Layne Verti-line

For more than a century, Layne/Verti-Line has been one of the leaders in the industry, constantly improving designs to satisfy changing market requirements.

Layne/Verti-Line vertical turbine pumps are designed primarily for heavy duty, continuous operation, in municipal and industrial applications.
The average installation can expect extra-long trouble-free pump life.

Brand: Fairbanks Morse

Fairbanks Morse Vertical Turbine Pumps

Fairbanks Morse
Capacities: 40 to 50,000 GPM
Heads: 10 to 2,000 feet

Applications
Fairbanks Morse vertical turbine pumps are of rugged, heavy-duty construction designed to successfully operate in a multitude of applications such as pumping from water source including wells, lakes, cooling ponds, tanks, rivers and oceans.

The successful application of vertical turbine pumps requires the consideration of many elements. In addition to knowing the capacity and discharge head requirements, other factors which need to be evaluated include:

Total pump thrust

Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) and submergence

Allowable bowl pressure

Allowable pump shaft stretch

Horsepower required throughout the pump's operating range

Allowable discharge head hanging weight

Sump requirements

Other considerations include:

Parameters of the liquid being pumped

Allowable solid size

Type of line shaft lubrication

Type of line shaft sealing

Elevation

Driver requirements

Materials of construction

Features
Parameters of vertical pumping applications require the units be available in a variety of pumping configurations to meet user needs. Fairbanks Morse meets these demands by providing pump bowls from 4" to 57" in diameter. Turbine bowls can be staged in series to produce the necessary discharge pressures.

Materials of construction include cast iron, bronze, and stainless steel, or other machineable materials. Wear rings are available to provide a renewable surface.

Open line shafts allow the product to lubricate the shaft bearings. Enclosed line shafts can provide external water flush, oil, or grease-bearing lubrication. Threaded or flanged column and line shaft assemblies are available in both short and deep-set applications.

Drive shafts extending through the discharge head can be sealed using either packing or mechanical seals. A wide range of mechanical seal designs are available along with an assortment of packing box designs, including those for high-pressure applications. Fairbanks Morse also offers an array of discharge head designs, including cast iron or fabricated steel construction, above-or below-ground discharge, and flanged or plain-end discharge connections.

Vertical pumps require a minimum of NPSH since the lowest impeller is submerged in the liquid. However, even when the system design does not provide enough NPSH, vertical turbine pumps can be supplied with its own reservoir or "pot". In this way, submergence required by the first stage impeller can be achieved to ensure reliable performance.

Vertical turbine pumps can be driven by vertical hollow-shaft motors, vertical solid-shaft motors, or through right-angle gears by an internal combustion engine, steam turbine, or horizontal motor. When vertical hollow-shaft drivers are used, impeller-to-bowl clearances can be maintained with an adjusting nut located at the top of the driver. When vertical solid-shaft drivers are utilized, impeller clearance is regulated with an adjustable coupling.

PUMP SERVICES GROUP

The PUMP SERVICES GROUP repairs, rebuilds or
completely re-engineers almost all types of centrifugal, split case, vertical
turbine, and propeller pumps, regardless of
manufacturer.

Doesn’t it make sense to have your pump repaired
by someone who is highly skilled and experienced

in pump repair? Located at the Layne/Verti-Line
manufacturing facility in Kansas City, Kansas, the PSG offers these unique
features:

üThe flexibility and customer-oriented focus
of a small pump shop

üThe resources and capabilities of one of
America’s primary pump manufacturers:

- OEM engineering services

- Large machining capacity

- Professional manufacturing control

üYears of experience in rebuilding pumps in
all sizes from 2” to 144” discharge

üVirtually any application, from public works
and utility, to industrial and fire protection

You can benefit from our ability to restore
performance and reliability to your pumps, at lower prices and shorter
delivery times than new replacement!

Testing. Very few facilities in the U.S. have the
capability to perform Certified Pump Performance Tests on repaired units. Our
controlled lab conditions - utilizing certified instruments - can assure, beyond a doubt, that head pressure, flow rate, horsepower and efficiency
all meet specified requirements after rebuild. In applications where energy
consumption is a primary consideration, such certification is
essential.

Quality. OEM quality is standard with the PUMP
SERVICES GROUP. Our association with Layne/Verti-Line’s main manufacturing
organization places us on a level with any original equipment manufacturer.
Layne/Verti-Line is ISO 9001 Certified, and all PSG rebuilds are shipped with
the same twelve-month warranty as newly-manufactured
pumps!
